I block bullshit. Dissenting opinion is fine. Debate is welcomed. Mutual acceptance of sets of facts is required and not optional.

America, from its inception, has always and necessarily had a strong socialist streak in it. the Declaration, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution codify a socially democratic spirit. USPS, public libraries, public education, public transportation, roads, fire & police, social security…etc

This is nowhere close to being true.
Two @ij.org clients are citizens who were arrested & @propublica.org found 168 more.
Plus, we have witness statements from others who--like most of the citizens caught up by Noem's tactics--didn't have their arrests recorded so they didn't make the news.

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Happening now: ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard who targeted criminals is out...replaced by Border Patrol loyalists and Bovino’s “Midway Blitz” crew. This isn’t reform. It’s a power grab. Shit just got more real.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.
Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.
